Goals of IGP
Ensure students are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to make informed choices on post-secondary education and career goals.
Develop detailed growth targets, action plans, tracking and reflection for students in every school year, in four areas: Personal Learning Plan, Skill Development Plan, Post-Secondary Institution Plan and Extra-Curricular Plan.
Engage parents and the broader community in the development, implementation, and evaluation of IGP, to integrate and streamline efforts between international partner schools and their students, supporting student growth.
Our IGP Framework
The framework of the Individual Growth Plan (IGP) has three components: Goal Setting, Detailed Growth Targets and Action Plans, and Year-Long Goal Management Processes. Students collaborate with their IGP counsellor on an annual basis to develop or reassess their goals (semester, university, career), and work to develop detailed growth targets and action plans. During the school year, they execute their plans and will track, review and reflect on their progress. The three components of the IGP are not necessarily sequential—it is an evolving plan for the students and adjusted to each individual student’s growth mandate and development.
